Recommended Reading List: August, 2020

Finished up lots of editing because I have a busy fall, and my time will be limited. So my reading time was limited to about an hour a day, plus what I could grab out of the slower moments.

Recommended Reading List: July 2020

I’ve been line editing various editing projects, which are in their final stages, so my reading time is limited. I had a weird experience, though.

I knew I had a reprint story coming up in the volume; I just never knew the publication date. Which was last year. In mid-February, I found out that the book had already appeared. Fortunately for you time travel fans, this is an anthology, not a magazine. You can still […]

“Loop” in Season of Wonder

Paula Guran’s holiday anthology, Season of Wonder, has a spectacular cover and even more spectacular names. In here, you can find holiday stories by science fiction and fantasy’s best, from Harlan Ellison to Connie Willis to the greatly missed Janet Kagan. I’m lucky enough to have a story in here too. As you can tell from my other postings, I love holiday stories, and here’s a […]
